Students in Years 7 to 12 are currently engaging in learning about alcohol and other drugs through the home group program.
To complement the information shared with students, we will be holding a parent information session to provide parents and caregivers with information that empowers you to support your young people regarding their choices related to alcohol, drugs and vaping.
This session will be held on Wednesday 18 September, 6.00pm to 7.30pm, in the Senior Study Centre and is for parents and caregivers of students in all year levels.
The session will be lead by Danni O’Connor, our Clinical Psychologist, Karen Jones, Senior School Wellbeing for Learning Leader and representatives from Streetlink Youth Health Services (Uniting Communities)
Topics include:
- Up to date information about alcohol, other drugs and vaping
- Current trend and statistics
- Legal implications
- Health impacts
- The role of parents and caregivers
- How to have conversations about alcohol and drug use
- Dealing with situations where young people may have access to alcohol
- Safety planning and harm minimisation
- Support services
- What support is available at school
- Other resources and services in the community
We look forward to your attendance as we work together to support our young people.
